This is a blog for alternative history fiction and some non-fiction essays, maybe throw in a little post-apocalyptic world, zombies, occasional poetry, wargaming (both board & miniature), and anything else that catches my interest.

Just completed these here Wild West figures from Great Escape Games: Dead Mans Hand range. From start to finish, took me about 3 days, and I'm really happy with them. Being from Kansas, I've always had an interest in gaming the old west, so when my sister gifted me some money and stipulated that it had to be spent on fun and not bills, I bought these, plus another posse, the rules, and the counters.

And an all together shot -

Next up on the painting desk is the "Last of the Mohicans" blister from Warlord. My Dads birthday is coming up in August, and as that is his favorite movie, and French & Indian War is one of his favorite periods to play, I'm going to paint up the set and give them to him for his bday. Don't any of you lot tell him!

So, I picked up "Imperial Assault" at my FLGS a couple weeks ago, opened the box and promptly decided I was going to paint all the figures in it.

They have all been cleaned up and spray undercoated and are sat on my painting desk. I have only managed to get two done so far -

Wookies!

Tons of fun to paint! These are the best models Fantasy Flight Games has put into a game yet, and I especially like the fact they're not the extremely bendy plastic from the likes of Wiz Kids etc. Keep following along, I've got some of tha baddies coming soon.

Here's three bases worth of Celtic Skirmishers. Made up of a mix of Airfix, ESCI, Revell, HaT figures.

Here we have three Scorpio's plus crew. If I remember correctly, these are all HaT figures.

As stated long ago when I first started this blog, I'm unsure what ruleset I'm going to be using for my ancient's gaming, though as of right now, I have WAB, Hail Caesar, and Sword & Spear. I figure I'll give them all a go and choose the one I like best.
